And while you’re checking out our list, be sure to enter not one, not two, but three Arena District Valentine’s Day giveaways below!

Ice Skating at Winter Park [GIVEAWAY]

Few activities are more romantic than ice skating in Columbus – just picture you and your partner, bundled up in your warmest clothes, hand in hand, gliding down a rink of freshly Zamboni’d ice. That could very well be the scene when you spend Valentine’s Day at the Columbus Blue Jackets Winter Park presented by Worthington Industries– an NHL-sized rink located across the street from Nationwide Arena.
Downtown Columbus’ Winter Park is open for public skating, hockey and other community events for just 24 days a year (February 2-25) – making it all the more special when you take your significant other. And with a Tim Hortons nearby, couples can warm up with a delicious coffee or hot chocolate after skating.
To help make a lucky Columbus couples’ Valentine’s Day, we’re giving away a Valentine’s Day prize pack which includes (2) FREE entry tickets to Winter Park, along with a $5 gift card to Tim Hortons. Check Facebook for Valentine’s Day giveaways
